The dynamics and evolution of Venus' mantle are of first-order relevance for the origin and
modification of the tectonic and volcanic structures we observe on Venus today. Solid-state …

The core–mantle boundary (CMB)–the interface between the silicate mantle and liquid iron
alloy outer core–is the most important boundary inside our planet, with processes occurring …

Post-perovskite MgSiO3 is believed to be present in the D′′ region of the Earth's
lowermost mantle,,,. Its existence has been used to explain a number of seismic …

The viscosity of the mantle is indispensable for predicting Earth's mechanical behavior at
scales ranging from deep mantle material flow to local stress accumulation in earthquakes …

With changing pressure and temperature conditions, downwelling and upwelling crustal and
mantle rocks experience several solid–solid phase transitions that affect the mineral …

In numerical simulations of mantle convection it is commonly assumed that the coefficients of
thermal expansion α and thermal conduction k are either constant or pressure-dependent …

We conducted in situ high‐pressure and‐temperature X‐ray diffraction measurements of a
pyrolitic mantle material up to 4480 K at 122–166 GPa in a laser‐heated diamond anvil cell …

Numerical simulations of thermo‐chemical, multi‐phase mantle convection in a 3‐D
spherical shell are performed to determine how a low viscosity of post‐perovskite affects …

Experimental and geophysical observations constraining mantle rheology are reviewed with
an emphasis on their impact on mantle geodynamic modelling. For olivine, the most studied …

Mantle control on planetary dynamos is often studied by imposing heterogeneous core-
mantle boundary (CMB) heat flux patterns on the outer boundary of numerical dynamo …
